I had a 2001 Eclipse GT. I bought it new in 2001 and in the 10+ years I had it I only put a little over 64,000 miles on it. It was a fun little car, and I enjoyed driving it. Since I have had the Z, I haven't missed my Eclipse once.

Yeah, I guess it's just the sentimental value. It was the car that got me into imports and modding in general, so it'll always have that special place haha. Needless to say I tend to forget about it every time I crank the Z though!

Yeah many people who have 350s switch to 370s as its the older brother. 3 of my friends have 350z and they always kid about how the 370z isnt that much different, then we do a lil spirited driving and their minds change faster than lightning.

AS for the Z/28

I was driving a 2000 Nissan Altima until I hydroplaned and slammed it into a guardrail. Decided it was finally time to drive a "real" car.

Going from a 280Z to a 300ZX was a big deal for me 20 years ago...Then I went from the white 1990 300ZX to a white 2004 350Z and that was a big deal.

The 350 was really nice, brutally quick and handled great, and way better than any Z before it, but the 370Z is just super sweet.

It is so much nicer is so many ways...

And the old school/new school Z/28 is a bit of old technology wrapped with modern suspension, steering and brakes..Kinda went crazy on the Hotchkis, Willwood, ect...But well worth it..

Part of my youth that I cannot part with...

I had huge passion for my 77 280z which I traded (It was terminally rusted out) for a 94 Miata. That car was fun to drive but was a bit underwhelming and soulless. I had it for 18 years!!! Wow. Time flys.

Now I have returned to the Z family and of course wonder why I ever left. In retrospect I wish I would have gone from the 280 to a 300. Those 18 years might have been different I think. Ah well... My wife gives me grief about having a car I can only haul 2 ppl in, but I'm not making the same mistake twice. I love my Z, I've always loved Zs and I will always have one waiting for me on the garage. (Right next to a minivan if she gets her way )
